AIO? Our pediatrician doesn’t remember anything about us.

So my baby just had her 6 month well check which makes this her 6th appointment with the same pediatrician since birth, and I really like this lady but she does not remember a single thing about us. I know she probably has a lot of patients but I'm telling you she doesn't remember us at all. Like she asks every time if this is my first baby, even though I tell her no every time and my other daughter has been to two of the six appointments (who is also a patient of hers!). Or she'll ask if we vaccinate when literally in our chart you can see her vaccination history and she literally gave them to her a month ago! Or she'll mention something about a different patient thinking it was us like "oh are you the family that just went to Italy?" Um no? And she doesn't remember anything we talk about from previous appointments I always have to remind her about what she told me.

It didn't bother me at first but this last time just really rubbed me the wrong way. I think I have two feelings. 1. Broken trust-like I'm trusting her with my baby and I feel like she's asleep at the wheel. 2. Angry- like you can't even make a quick note in the chart to remember who your patients are??

I told my husband that I was thinking about switching providers and he said I may be overreacting because I expect people to treat me the way I treat people. Which may be true. When I was working I had a 60 client caseload of people I saw once a month and I remembered everything about them. Hell I had people come back to me after years and I still remembered them! But that might be unrealistic for some people.

So tell me, AIO?

ETA: Thank you everyone for the validation!! It seems like the overwhelming consensus is that I am not overreacting. I showed my husband the comments and I think it helped him understand my feelings a bit more so thank you! I was able to find another pediatrician at a different office that had good reviews about bedside manner so I'm hoping she's the one for us! I think I'm just going to go in being really honest and just let her know that I totally don't expect her to remember everything about us but it makes me more comfortable to know that she reviews the chart and at least knows her medical history and just staying aware of things we talk about during appointments.

Thank you all again!!
